Starship size comparison

Slightly disappointed no Death star, but as the guy says on his website, no one seems to be able to agree on tis size, and further, it then takes him off the chart.

It'd be fun to do a superhero version of this with Thanagarian Star Cruiser, Warworld, The Authority's The Carrier, the Bleed ship from Planetary, Abin Sur's vessel, the Legion of Superheroes' Mark X Legion Cruiser, Brainiac's skull ship, Skuttlebutt from Thor, Galactus' huge infinty-loop shaped star ship...

I've seen these before, probably on Tumblr, but still very impressed. With the one featuring the really big ships, I also looked in vain for the Death Star, but I can understand why it might need to have its own category. Along with the idea of creating one featuring ships from the comics, I'd also like to see one featuring the various sizes of famous fictional planets that the Death Star could be compared with, such as Krypton, Alderaan, Tatooine, Vulcan, Oa, Mogo, Ego the Living Planet, Cybertron, Krelar, et cetera.

Oh Japan's sense of scale... They can keep their balls and shafts to themselves.

Edit: The only ships i really identify are Star Wars, Firefly, Alien, and Clarke. Winter's still here, so it's a perfect time to play catch up.

Larry Niven, in the Green Lantern Bible he wrote for DC, said something to the effect that Oa was in the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy, and that the force of the Oans' minds is the only thing keeping it from collapsing into a black hole. I suppose it makes more sense for Oa to be in the centre of a galaxy rather than the universe, because who knows if the universe even has a centre?

I've also read in some Byrne-era Superman stories that Krypton is supposedly 50 light years from Earth. In the past, I've looked at lists of nearby stars and tried to figure out whether there even are any red suns at that distance. I couldn't find any that were exactly 50 light years, but there were some candidates that were a bit farther away.

One Wold Newton Universe theorist I know from back in the days when I was involved in that group had a theory that Krypton was actually a planet destroyed a few million years ago in our own solar system, the debris creating the asteroid belt, and Kal-El's ship actually traveling through time as well as space to land on Earth during World War I. Of course, the Wold Newtonists operate by their own rules, so DC Comics continuity is only considered to be mere shadows of the real truths, so any story placing Krypton's destruction exactly 25 to 30 years before Superman's debut can be discounted if it doesn't fit a particular theory.

One of my favourite theories was that Superman/Clark Kent is the same individual as Hugo Danner from Philip Wylie's Gladiator. Al Schroeder came up with a whole theory, complete with a timeline, of how the despondent Danner eventually became the world's first super-hero. (Also, he had to discount Danner's origin story somewhat, since Danner was injected with a chemical that gave him his super-strength and invulnerability when he was still in the womb.) I really ought to start up a Wold Newton thread here sometime.

Yep, that was Red Son. Superman is actually a descendent of Lex Luthor.

Larery Niven wrote a Green Lantern Bible?! That'd be an interesting read....
